Chapter 330 Harvesting Corn
"If you could sense it, they wouldn't need to stay with the Dark Dragon Guard; they could just stay somewhere cool and quiet." Su Nuannuan's lips curled into a faint smile as she spoke softly.
Upon hearing this, Jinse's worries did not lessen. She frowned slightly and quickly asked, "What about Yu Wei? Will she be in danger?"
Su Nuannuan turned to look out the car window, her gaze falling on the distant mountains, and slowly said, "Don't worry, Yu Wei will be fine." Her voice was calm and firm, as if she had complete confidence in Yu Wei's safety.
The carriage traveled smoothly along the road, its wheels making a soft creaking sound. Time passed quickly, and soon the carriage arrived at the gate of the manor.
"Your Majesty, we've arrived at the estate." Li Desheng brought the carriage to a steady stop and called out to Su Nuannuan inside.
Upon hearing the sound, Su Nuannuan straightened her clothes slightly, and then, with Jinse's help, slowly got off the carriage.
At this moment, the servants guarding the gate rushed forward upon seeing their master's carriage. They swiftly opened the gate and simultaneously dispatched someone to inform the estate's steward of Su Nuannuan's arrival.
The rain had stopped, and sunlight pierced through the clouds, shining on the earth and bringing a touch of brightness and warmth to the entire village.
Accompanied by Jinse, Su Nuannuan stepped into the manor. Her steps were light and graceful, her demeanor dignified, and every step she took exuded elegance and poise.
"This servant greets Your Highness." Steward Song jogged over and immediately bowed respectfully upon seeing Su Nuannuan.
"Manager Song, no need for formalities." Su Nuannuan smiled slightly and gently raised her hand, gesturing for Manager Song to stand up.
Steward Song quickly stood up, his face beaming, and said, "Your Highness, please come in." He stepped aside to make way and led Su Nuannuan into the estate.
"I'll be staying at the estate for a while, so you don't need to stay here and take care of things. This isn't my first time here," Su Nuannuan said calmly to Steward Song.
Upon hearing this, Steward Song immediately bowed and replied with great respect, "Then this servant will not disturb Your Highness any longer and will go about my business."
Su Nuannuan nodded slightly to indicate that she understood, then casually waved her hand, signaling that Manager Song could leave.
After Steward Song left, Su Nuannuan turned around and slowly walked into the manor.
Meanwhile, inside the Hall of Diligent Governance in the Imperial Palace, the atmosphere was somewhat somber.
Emperor Canglan Jingyun sat on the dragon throne, listening to the report from the Dark Dragon Guards who had just returned.
"You mean my Consort Zhuang went to the estate?!" Canglan Jingyun asked, his face full of surprise.
The Dark Dragon Guard knelt on one knee, bowed his head and clasped his hands in a respectful gesture, replying, "Yes, Master. Judging from the situation, they're going to stay for a while."
After a moment of silence, Canglan Jingyun finally spoke: "I understand. Protect her well and do not allow any mishaps."
The Dark Dragon Guard hurriedly replied, "Yes, Your subordinate obeys."
Before the words were finished, the Dark Dragon Guards flashed and disappeared from the Hall of Diligent Governance like ghosts.
"It seems that Consort Zhuang has gone to the estate to relax. Why bother? If she can't bear to part with them, she should just leave Fifth Brother and Jianping in the capital." Canglan Jingyun said leisurely as he opened a memorial.
However, when he took a closer look at the contents of the memorial, an inexplicable anger surged up in his heart. He turned ashen with rage and threw the memorial onto the imperial desk.
"Qingli, tell me, are these ministers idle all day long, bored out of their minds? They're actually thinking about stuffing people into my harem every day!" Canglan Jingyun roared at the eunuch Qingli standing beside him, pointing furiously at the memorials on the dragon table.
Upon seeing this, Qingli was startled and quickly replied cautiously, "Your Majesty, please calm down. The court officials did this so that Your Majesty could continue the royal bloodline. It was a loyal act and there was nothing wrong with it."
"Loyalty? They're meddling in my affairs! When did it become their place to interfere in the affairs of my harem?" Canglan Jingyun became increasingly angry as he spoke, and he suddenly stood up, his face full of rage.
Seeing that things were not going well, Qingli quickly stepped forward and asked softly, "Your Majesty, where are you going?"
"Go to Cixi Palace!" Canglan Jingyun said irritably, then turned and walked out without looking back.
Seeing this, Qingli dared not delay and hurriedly called out, "His Majesty is departing for Cining Palace!"
The name Qingli was given to him when Canglan Jingyun was still the crown prince. The reason for changing his name was simply that Qingli's original name was Guixi, which Canglan Jingyun found unpleasant to hear, so he decided to change it.
As soon as Su Nuannuan stepped into the manor, she felt relaxed and at ease, as if a bird that had been bound for a long time had finally regained its freedom. She couldn't wait to tell Tingxue to find some short clothes so that she could change into them.
Tingxue did as she was told and quickly brought the clothes. While helping Su Nuannuan change, she asked with concern, "Your Highness, what are you going to do? If there's anything I can help you with, just tell me. There's no need for Your Highness to do it yourself!"
Su Nuannuan smiled slightly and explained, "Tingxue, you don't understand. Some things you have to do yourself to experience the joy of them." After saying that, she didn't say anything more and let Tingxue tidy her clothes.
After Tingxue finished getting ready, Su Nuannuan turned to look at her and asked with a smile, "Then guess what I'm planning to do later?"
After a moment's thought, Tingxue replied, "In my humble opinion, Your Highness probably wishes to stroll around the estate, admire the flowers, and play with the birds, right?"
Upon hearing this, Su Nuannuan chuckled and shook her head, saying, "No, no, I don't have that kind of leisure."
"So what exactly is Your Highness going to do?" Tingxue asked curiously.
"Of course I'm going to pick corn!" Su Nuannuan replied enthusiastically.
“But Your Majesty, the corn is not ripe yet!” Jinse, who had been standing nearby, interjected.
"Oh? Is that so?" Su Nuannuan didn't seem to care, and instead smiled, "It's alright, it's alright, what I want is this unripe corn."
“How can we eat this unripe corn? It’s such a waste!” Jinse retorted with heartache.
"Who said it's a waste?" Su Nuannuan widened her eyes and retorted defiantly, "Immature corn naturally has its own way of being eaten, how could it be a waste?"
Jinse stood aside, watching her mistress's increasingly childish demeanor, and couldn't help but sigh helplessly.
However, she did not show her sigh, but silently thought to herself, "Your Majesty, you should give birth to the prince as soon as possible! As soon as you give birth to the little prince, the Empress Dowager will definitely call the master back to the palace immediately."
